The pressure gauge on a tank registers the gauge pressure, which is the difference between the interior pressure and exterior pressure. When the tank is full of oxygen (O2), it contains 15.0 kg of the gas at a gauge pressure of 35.0 atm. Determine the mass of oxygen that has been withdrawn from the tank when the pressure reading is 17.6 atm. Assume the temperature of the tank remains constant.
